Frank Girardin was a native of Louisville, Kentucky. He began his art instruction in the 1870s at the Cincinnati (Ohio) Art Academy with Thomas Satterwhite Noble and, later, Frank Duveneck, both fellow Kentuckians. Some sources say he played semi-professional baseball while in Cincinnati.
 
Girardin moved to the Richmond, Indiana, area and was an original member of the Sketch Club. He was an active member of the Art Association of Richmond, serving on the board of directors for several years. He painted and sketched with Richmond's great art talent, John Elwood Bundy.
 
In 1910 Girardin moved to California, settling in Redondo Beach, where he continued painting.
 
His work is in the San Diego Art Museum and the Richmond Art Museum, reflecting his three-region art career.
